This topic has come up frequently here, but is unresolved. I’ve tried the suggested solution but it hasn’t worked at all.
Notes (Mac) defaults to IE for the Mac as its browser, an unsupported orphan product. Unfortunately, resetting the prefs (in 2 places) to use Firefox or Safari or other browser works only until you quit, then the program goes back to default.
